Rep. Williams Fights to Protect the Unborn During COVID-19

"Taxpayer dollars should never be used for the barbaric act of abortion and I will always remain committed to protecting our nation’s most vulnerable.”

Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX-25) joined his colleagues in introducing the Protecting Life in Crisis Act (H.R. 6742) to prevent federal funds allocated in COVID-19 response legislation from being used for abortions or abortion coverage. The bill extends existing Hyde Amendment protections to any coronavirus health care provisions, and prevents federal tax credits from being used to cover post-employment health care premiums (COBRA) that include abortion coverage.

“I am unapologetically pro-life and believe that every child is a precious gift from God. As Congress works to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, I am proud to join my colleagues in ensuring that federal funds are not used to attack innocent life,” said Congressman Williams. “The abortion-obsessed House Majority under Speaker Pelosi will use every opportunity to undermine Hyde Amendment protections, including a global health crisis. Taxpayer dollars should never be used for the barbaric act of abortion and I will always remain committed to protecting our nation’s most vulnerable.”
